Just seeing if I can get this right on this forum..test



CHICAGO — Rahm Emanuel’s bid to become mayor of this city may proceed, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, ending a week that had turned this city’s politics upside down, then back again.


Rahm Emanuel met commuters at an El station after the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that he can stay on the ballot.

The unanimous decision brought a close to months of legal debate over whether Mr. Emanuel qualified for the ballot, specifically whether his time in Washington as President Obama’s chief of staff meant that he had given up his residency status in Chicago, where he was born.

I kind of agree with allowing him to run for mayor. He didn't sell his home in Chicago and you really can't penalize someone who was in the service of his country. His job required him to be living in DC temporarily while we was working in the White House.

I'm not really feeling it either way. Was just the first thing on my news report so I tested how well I could get it linked here.
